UNCONSTITUTIONAL,
Some Doubt as to the Legality of the Acts
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON. June !

WASHINGTON, June 5.
1t appears that there is considerable doubt
as to the legality OF the acts of the interstate
commerce commission Good lawyers hold
that this commission is not composed of
class of officers who can be appointed during
the recess of the Senate. Great stress is
laid upon the assertion that as the officers of
the interstate commerce commission are new
otficest he President had no legal right to
fill them without the advice and consent of
the Senate. The places were not vacancies,
according to the Interpretation of that word
rs given by the Senate. or even if they had
been conceded to be vacancies they dfd not
happen during the recess of tine Senate.
They existed 27 days while the Senate was in
session. The President approved the ''act to
regulate commerce" Feb. 4. Congress re-
nained in session until noon, March 4, and
the remainder to executive act in express
terms says that"the provisions relating to the
appointment and organization of the commits
sion herein provided take effect Immediate
diately." But as is well known the Presi-
dent did not appoint the commission until
after Congress expired. Ex-senator Bout
well expresses the opinion that when the
question of the constitutionality of the inter
squarely before the supreme court of the
United States for adjudication the latter will
crush out that anomouiy hybrid extra legisla-
tive, extra judicial tribunal by declaring it
unconstitutional

counsel, Col. Ingersoll. the Hotel Keepers
Association today foresook the rigid ob.erv-
ance Of the Sunday liquor Law and at several
of the principal hotels the wine was freely

concert of action. The bars were closed and
no liquor dispursed there. Delmonico serv-
ed wine with meals wheneverJ desired. The
Gilsey House gave relief to the thirsty in its
cafe and guests we're told that it Was not nec-
essary to lay in supply for Sunday. use.
Sturtevant did likewise. The Brunswick,
Victoria, Hoffman, Park Avenue, Grand
Union, Astor, Union Square, and Morton
House clerks said there had been no liquors
whatever served The clerks at the Fifth
Avenue argued the question. saying that the
police had better enter the churches and ar
rest those who passed the communion cup, as
under the rigid construction of the law thev
had no more right TO give away wine than
the hotel keepers.
The saloon keepers observed the Law in
part but those who used the side door had no
difficulty in quenching thirst with prohibited
beverages. A number of dealers of this
class were arrested.

LITTLE VALLEY, N. Y, June 4.


The jury in the case of Mrs. Mary VILE
man, on trial here for the murder of her hus-
band. retired at 10 o'clock last night. Mrs
Wileman was prostrated during the night
and it was with the greatest difficulty that
she walked into the court room this morn
ing accompanied by her two sons. She
booked pale and haggard and trembed vio-
lently as the jury filed into the court room at
8 o'clock.
When the foreman of the jury announced
the verdict mot guilty" a desfening cheer
went up in the court house. Mrs. Wileman
tainted and her counsel carried her out of the
court room. The utmost excitement pre-
vailed for several minutes. There were
cheers within the court house and without on
the streets, where great crowd had collect
ed. The verdict was entirely unexpected, as
the case was supposed to be stronger than at
the first trial, at which Mrs. Wileman was
sentenced to death.

LIEUT.. CLARk'S DEATH.
Particulars Furnished His Father by the
Commander Ofthe lrOquOis.


NEWPORT, R. l., June 4.
Mr.. Henry w. Clark of this city, father of
the late Lieut.. Arthur H. Clark, who was
shot on board the U. S. S. Iroquois at Pans-
ma, May I, has received a letter from Com
mander J. c. Watson of that ship concerning
Lieut. Clark's death. Commander Watson
says he has seen a statement that Mr.. Clark
was convinced that his son was murdered,
and wishes to disabuse his mind of such an
impression. He says the location of the
room in which he was shot was such as would
render the escape of anyone who had shot
Lieut.. Clark impossible. Reports of two
shots, he continues, Immediately drew the
eyes of a number of officers to the entrance
of the room, and some of them got there and
pulled the curtin aside almost instantly.
Lieut. Clark's body was seen lying on the
deck with revolver near his right hand,
with one large bullet wound through the
right eve. and another through the back of
his head, where the bullet came out. This
wound must have caused instant death. An.
other bullet had entered the right chest and
passed entirely through the back, coming out
near the right shoulder blade. The surgeon
of the Iroquois thinks the first shot was fired
with the muzzle of the revolver placed
against the right eye, and that the shot
through the chest was fred instantly after
ward, as his hand was dropping. by the con-
vulsive contraction of the muscles, as the
revolver was self-cocking.
Mr.. Clark acknowledges that his sons
wounds may have been self inflicted, and
says he has no ground on which to base even
the slightest suspicion of foul play on the
part of any single individual. At the same time
be says that the facts that his son was under
such pleasant relations with all on board the
ship, that his habits we're regular, and that be
Vas of . cheerful disposition, make it difacult
for him to believe that his death was the
work Of his own hands.

not thought that the meditation of Secretary
Bayard for leniency will have the desired
effect, a. the standing of Col. Arvizu in the
Mexican army is not of the best. and there is
no sympathy for him among his own country
